Welcome
- Hello - Hey There!
This is the new, NEW home of the Humboldt Hibachi Beach
Bocce & Croquet Club (HHBBCC). This club was established
in 1988 at Humboldt State University and died a boring death
in 1991. The club's mission is to practice alternative forms
of government while enjoying lawn games on typically
non-lawn surfaces. If you're new to the HHBBCC - good luck
trying to figure anything meaningful out. If you're not new,
you know nothing meaningful is going to be here anyway. Shop
on. The club currently sucks about as much as this web site,
so if you're one of those inactive members out there and
feel guilty for being part of such a sucky club - contact
me. I could use some help. GTG
What's
New
I got some software to help me organize this web page a
little better. Give me stories and photos if you want to
improve it some more.
I chose a time and place for the
Decennial Tourney. It's October 10, 11 & 12 in SAN
DIEGO. Get a hold of me, Greg Gearheart, for
details.
I have sold out to capitalism (did I really have a
choice?) Buy a book from this page and the HHBBCC might make
some money. I think we've earned $2.77 already.
BUY A BOOK!
All of the following books are highly recommended, but if
you buy some other book you're one your own. The club gets
revenues whether you buy the books listed below or not, just
be sure to access
amazon.com through one
of the links below.

Cat's
Cradle / This book kicks
butt.

What's
Up with the South African Flag?
The South African Flag at the top of these pages
symbolizes the rapid global change that has occurred since
the creation of this club. When this club began, the Dreaded
South African Grip was probably the worst thing a member of
the club could do. It represented all that was bad in the
world. Now the South African Grip is welcome and actually
works quite well in windy conditions. South Africa, with its
reconcilliation efforts, is a guiding light for all of us.
